WATCH: Obama Reads 'Mean Tweets' — Including One From Trump

President Obama's days in office are dwindling, and it's clear he intends to have as much fun as he can on the way out. Last night during a West Coast fundraising trip, he stopped by ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Obama took part in a recurring bit called "Mean Tweets," which consists of reading aloud some of the, you guessed it, mean tweets about him of late.
Such as:

@DJ_lcpl: "Barack Obama...bro, do you even lift!?"

(To which Obama responded, "Well, I lifted the ban on Cuban cigars, that's worth something.&quot

And finally:

@realDonaldTrump: "President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!"

To that Obama responded, "Hey, @realDonaldTrump, at least I will go down as a president."

And with that, he dropped the smartphone.

It's the only tweet trump ever got from a President. He better frame it because it's the last one. Sunlei Oct 2016 #6
